Closed praveenb closed 4 years ago

praveenb commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I see encrypted file able to decrypt in app is fine. I want to know, how to open the encrypted file generated in app on Windows 10 PC using same password given Android app.

Please help on it.

Thank you.

Hi,

Sorry, this type of use case is a bit beyond the scope of the samples here. I'd recommend asking on Stack Overflow.

If you need to decrypt across platforms, you should check out Tink. Jetpack Security uses it, and you can use other Key Management Systems (KMS) besides the AndroidKeyStore which would allow you to handle cross platform encryption and decryption.
